However there seems to be so much going on around here in the summer months that people stick mainly to their own localities, apart from tourists, so as Marta is only a small town these events are fun, busy but not over crowded.<br /><br />Pam - Thanks, winter will be a let down I think!<br /><br />Anne - Yes still a great sense of community here.<br /><br />Bev - Hi how are you? I must pop over your blog and see what you have been up to recently. I agree with your comment, it is one of the things we enjoy about life here.<br /><br />Mya - Always plenty for tourists to enjoy, this year mainly Dutch and Germans visiting the region. I still have not seen any shooting stars this year, have you?LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-84708646243736094302010-08-13T00:08:25.354+02:002010-08-13T00:08:25.354+02:00It seems that they go all out for these festivals....It seems that they go all out for these festivals. Must be a lot of fun, and a good way to meet others. At least visitors will always have something to do.<br />Yes, I saw your St. Lawrence post; you got yours posted before I did. I gave up trying to find a good film about it, and today I saw an interesting clip on another blog. She got it from Youtube, but I never saw it there.<br />There was so much information on Lawrence, but was trying to stay on track with the meteors.Myahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03065742730008687282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-1417767369527523072010-08-12T22:50:33.319+02:002010-08-12T22:50:33.319+02:00Simple fare, simple pleasures .... just can't ...Simple fare, simple pleasures .... just can't be beat.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05309020440645127953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-66377056694799167992010-08-12T22:16:04.584+02:002010-08-12T22:16:04.584+02:00Wow Linda .. another fun night out, just look at a...Wow Linda .. another fun night out, just look at all the people that attended .. the Italians certainly do know who to bring the people together :-)Anne in Oxfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479380647784781207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-64558109616119338472010-08-12T22:09:59.571+02:002010-08-12T22:09:59.571+02:00Fun, Fun, Fun....that's what is so cool about ...Fun, Fun, Fun....that's what is so cool about your blog!

I guess you are feeling much better if you are back at work?<br /><br />Diane - The food was actually delicious and much better than it sounded from the menu!

(they don't come through on my work computer.)<br /><br />The food looks so delicious. It looks like everyone had a wonderful time. What better entertainment than a band outdoors in the open air, with good friends and great food.<br /><br />I love that orange cart with the baskets in it. That is just beautiful.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing sweet friend. Wish I could have attended as well.<br /><br />Country hugs sweetie...SherryCountry Wings in Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02665526569698123576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-81857822722520054862010-08-12T15:16:43.854+02:002010-08-12T15:16:43.854+02:00What a fun evening!
